I dedicate this site to the pursuit of papercrafting, be it scrapbooking or cardmaking, artwork or 3-d projects. This is to be my journal of what I will create and share. My goal is to post at least once a week, my wish, is to share my love and enjoyment of my hobby.
Welcome to my journey I wish us a pleasant ride.

Next to the last challenge and I am so sad. Here is my newest entry today's rules are :Now a "haunting" you will go...Haunted places, include a Haunted House in your project.

My project is a picture frame with a mostly black and white theme. the background is an awesome spooky photo from Mary E. McIntyre and the following link: http://cameracombo.wordpress.com
is the website you should go and check out. The Simply Betty Images I chose to use are Sally Chibi and Skellington. I colored them with copics W1,3,5 and 7. I used the same background to create the home sweet home sentiment. I also used my cricut and happy hauntings to cut out my haunted house.

Hi all soo sorry this was not up earlier. I am completely re-posting as my original will not post :( I hope you have reached me by way of
Trish http://scrappintillthecowscomehome.blogspot.com/
My image was Wise Brittany I added a camel as my background as it seemed fitting. I colored the sky blue then used a snowflake stamp to simulate stars. I then kept my card simple with 1 layer behind her. I place all on a foil star paper symbolizing the Holy night.

The new challenge is a "sweet" one. We are to use the colors of candy corn or caramel apples as inspiration. My first card (I'm hoping to make another before time runs out) I took this very literal. I colored Pumpkin carving Alex with my Copic markers. I stamped an older candy corn stamp multiple times with versa mark then embossed with a black powder. I then colored the parts of the corn and then embossed again with a clear powder in order to give it a shine. Hope you like it.

Ghouls,
Killers, and Witches on the big screen use any non "Persona" image (for
example Morticia Betty, Betty Addams and the like) and make it resemble
your favorite Favorite Movie ghoul, ghost, witch, or scary persona

Okay so for my project I went back into my childhood. For a little background my Mom never let us watch scary movies. The movie that scared me as a little kid was Witch Mountain. I know, I know, that's not a scarey movie you say. I was freaked out by kids that had "powers" as I got older I liked the movie but this was the extent of my "scary" growing up.

So for my card I used Betty's We Come In Peace Brittany. I found a photo from the film and added Brittany as the little sister. Hope you like her.

I colored Brittany with Copics, I also colored the background to make a night sky and lightly stamped some snowflake to be stars in the sky. I love this quote and decided it went well with Brittany here.

Rules: Stripes...Witches Stockings or Stripes....

My project started like this:

and this is what I have done with it:

I used Witchy Boo Betty and made a Orange and black striped flower and added a lil bling to the middle.

This was a free clipart banner that I added welcome to and added some color with my Copic E97. I also added the skeleton to the center.

I made a mini book, this is the cover with Oval Portrait. I colored a regular silk flower with my copice and added a black ribbon rose to the center. I also made the pin sticking out of the flower and colored half the pearls black.

first page with 2 tags

the right flap open with another tag

Page 2 lots of space for photos + The skull and skellington are stamps that I heat embossed to give them so texture. The striped paper behind the skellington the black stripe is a velvet.

Devil Rio is keeping everything under control as bouncer :)10. The 2 headstones with Zombie hands toasting. These were from Betty Jingle brains.

I added a party banner and a Disco Moon (can't party without one) the Keep out in front was a rub on, and all are colored with Copic Markers. This was a lot of fun to make so I hope you enjoy looking :) Lots of Pictures sorry :)

Project 2 a quickie Bookmark Emmy needed a new one as she was using a walmart receipt to keep her page. MS bat border punch black cardstock some designer paper and Betty Little Munster colored with Copics.

Let's get onto the next challenge....Slime and Grime... use lime green and distressing on your projects

Rules Rules gotta have Rules !

1. Create anything at all, just slime it and grime it up!

2. There must be at least 6 entries for the prize.

3. Winner will be determined by popular vote by the DT

4. Must be a new project never posted on any online sites.

Here is my project inspired by my Emmy. We were looking at what we needed for her Halloween costume and she says "Halloween kinda like Christmas, I get fun presents and hang out with my cousins" Well that inspired my project. A scrapbook page using Betty Jingle-Brains and a stocking stuffer list for Halloween:) I hope you like it, now good luck to all who enter and to everyone else, if you have not played along yet give it a try it's loads of FUN!

Jingle Betty is colored with copics. I tore her out and used YG 03 on the torn edge. The list is a free printable I use at Christmas I just cut it down punched the end with drippy goo then inked the edges with black and then citrus inks. The stocking is a paper piecing I did use YG 03 again to create a little depth for the inside and then took black ink to all the edges. I will try to put up a second project however as my wrist and shoulder are not quite cleared yet we shall see.

I again used Betty Burton available HERE, This time however I stamped her onto a very light blue tissue paper. I again used my copic's to add some color(very lightly as the ink soaks through immediately). I then cut her out and using a rootbeer barrel shaped mug that had an oval shape in the front I adhered her to that oval.

Whoohooo day 4!!!

All
a Glow... add "glow" to your projects... with whatever medium you color
with on an image, or actual lighting if you can manage lets get
"GLOWING"

What a fun challenge right, so much so that I will be entering 2 projects! Really they have all been really fun so far and I can't wait for the next challenge to pop up.

So here is my project 1 and it is a bit different. First I took a clean paint can(smaller size) I took my one and only SBS actual stamp and that is Miss Betty Burton available HERE. I stamped her right onto the paint can, then colored her with copic's right on the can as well(watch out it is super easy to smear :(. Then I took my Crop a dile and punched holes all around the image. Lastly I added a candle and lit it. Here are the pictures, thank you so much for looking and for all the lovely comments I have so far received.
